The grant will be awarded to fund new initiatives or expand programs relating to community needs, not subsidize existing programs, and will be presented to the recipient in the Spring.

Community Grant applications are due December 7, 2018.

Last year, the Junior League of Greenwich presented the Community Grant Award to Kids in Crisis in conjunction with the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich (BGCG). The grant was utilized to expand Kids in Crisis existing program providing “Youth Mental Health First Aid Training” to staff at the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich. The collaboration allowed Kids in Crisis to assist the Boys & Girls Club in supporting the growing need for
mental health services for the youth aged 6 to 18 that attend the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich.
